VMCA Advogados

Highly regarded by clients for its ‘technical excellence and strategic approach to competition law’,  VMCA Advogados is relied upon by notable names from the technology, energy, and mining sectors, among others, to assist with merger control, conduct cases, and administrative proceedings. The group has particular experience advising on high-profile investigations arising from alleged anti-competitive conduct such as predatory pricing, collusion, and public bidding. Department co-head Ticiana Lima stands out for her aptitude for merger filings and cartel investigations, with a focus on the energy sector, while fellow co-head Marcela Mattiuzzo specialises in leniency and settlement agreements and regulatory compliance. The team also benefits from the prowess of Matheus Barreto, who joined from BMA Advogados in September 2024, bringing with him vast experience representing clients before CADE in merger filings and reviews, as well as investigations related to anti-competitive conduct.
